Business men and heads of govern
ment departments have sometimes said
to me that they have tried women
clerks, found them unsatisfactory, and
have given up the experiment. Their
| objections are, that women are inclined
to ask and accept favors, and to excuse
themselves for shortening, and that
they, the employers, find it difficult or
unpleasant to bring women to time, -
and demand the exact and prompt per-
Torrance of them of all their duties,
such as would be required of man in
| the same place.
There is no excuse for any woman
who takes this line of action, when she
has secured work. She should know
that every time she asks for half hours
leave of absence, every time she comes
into the office late, every time she
excuses herself with smile, or worse
yet tear, for some piece Of carelessness
she is injuring not only her own chances
of earning a livelihood, but those of all
other women who have to go out into
the world to earn bread.
But [ have never failed, when oppor-
tunity offered to point out to those who
SO frankly gave their objections to
women clerks, that upon the employers
themselves rested fully half of the
responsibility for the failure. To my
question, "Did you really take pains to
engage an intelligent, industrious
woman, expecting of her the same
work you would have expected of a
man, and letting her know it, and did
you offer the wages ordinarily paid to a
man, with the understanding that she
should do the same work as would have
been required of man in the same
placer the reluctant answer has nearly
always been "No.'
He who expects little of servant
will get little, usually; and he who gives
half pay will get half service. For the
hundreds of women who have at some
time in their lives worked, in slip
shod fashion, in some office for little
while, all the time kindly treated by
their employers, but who found them
selves suddenly dismissed some bright
morning, without explanation, it may
be, these objections to women clerks,
made by friendly men, often, should
furnish food for reflection. And as for
the hundreds of officials and business
men who have at some period in their
lives engaged some women to work for
them because she would work cheaper
than a man, and then never clearly
explained her duties to her, expecting
and demanding very little of her,
excusing her faults and carelessness,
until at last, with patience worn out,
they have discharged her without tell
idg her the reason, and then ever after
have vowed that women are no good
in an office"-is there not something
for them to think of, too?
